Viewing DITA Map Dependency Structures


The map structure feature provides you with a composite view of all content items associated with the map you selected. For each dependent map and topic within this dialog, administrators can quickly learn the status for each of the following:

  • Copy-to name (if one has been applied)
  • Checked in/out
  • Mark/Unmarked for publish
  • User assignment
  • Group assignment
  • If the dependent content item has been deleted from the CMS

Access this feature on the DITA Map Details toolbar in the DITA Properties view.

To view the structure of a DITA map and status of content items:
  1. Navigate to Assets > [DITA Map] > DITA Properties > Map Details view.
  2. On the toolbar, click the View Map Structure button.
